Help Losing Water


AAS

Recommended Posts

we have a fiberglass pool less than a year old and we are losing water 6-8 inches (falling below skimmer) about every day to day and half. They came out to check for a leak and we don't have one - what could be causing us to loose our water?

Who said you don't have a leak? You definitely have a leak and it's a doozy! 6" in a 15x30 pool is 1710 gallons of water. Based on the loss it is either a broken pipe or a crakk at the bottom of the pool. My guess is a broken pipe likely at the return. Get a second opinion from a leak detection company.

If you are losing more than an inch a day, you have a leak!!!!!!!

check the light conduit that is a common place to have a leak. Pull the light fixture out of the niche and get a piece of Butylene tape ( thats a non hardening puddy) and use it to plug up around the cord where it comes out of the conduit. Even if it turns out not to be leaking its one of the easiest things to eliminate as a possibility.
